BMBF Junior Research Group "HIL4PhotonSwitch"

In this NanoMatFutur-Junior Research Group funded by the BMBF we are currently investigating the interaction of ultrashort, femtosecond laser pulses with nanometer-sized plasmonic structures.

In detail, we are putting our emphasis on the development of ultrafast plasmon-exciton-based switching process.

Our research will hopefully give new insight into light-matter interaction on ultrasmall spatial and ultrafast temporal scales and could help to increase the clock rate of photonic or plasmonic transistors.
